Ukrainian drone strikes target facilities of Russian online retailer Wildberries as cross-border attacks continue in Krasnodar, Crimea, and Zaporizhzhia.

Ukrainian forces have expanded their long-range drone campaign, repeatedly targeting major logistics facilities belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s main online retailer. Ukrainian strikes recently hit a warehouse in the Vladimir region near Moscow, marking at least 14 attacks on the e-commerce giant within a month. Overall, drone strikes have damaged over one million square meters of distribution hubs across Russia.

The economic targeting accompanies continued aerial strikes in southern Russia. Russian officials stated that drone debris landed on a crowded resort beach in Gelendzhik, killing seven civilians, including three children. Additional strikes in Belgorod and Crimea brought the total reported casualties to 11 deaths. Moscow accused Kyiv of intentionally targeting civilians. Meanwhile, Russian forces launched glide bombs at Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine, killing one person.
